SCRIPTURE

I am reminding you to fan into a flame the gift God gave you  when I laid my hands on you. God’s gift was not a spirit of timidity, but the spirit of power, and love and self control…bear hardships for the sake of the Good News

…..relying on the power of God. (2 Timothy)

How long , Lord, am I to cry for help

While you will not listen….

Outrage and violence, this is all I see….

The vision…..if it comes slowly, wait

For come it will  without fail….

The upright man will live by his faithfulness (Habakuk)
